read table question

Former Member — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:52:25 GMT

Hi every,

I got a question. I have the following code:

READ TABLE itab WITH KEY value = lv TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS.

IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

flag = 'X'.

ENDIF.

If I want to change the condition to " value <= lv ". Then how to rewrite the code? Thanks!

Regards

Pheily

endloop.

Hi,

This is not possible in the read statment because read statment only returns one single record. This can only be acheived using LOOP WHERE...ENDLOOP .

You would have to sort the table and use multiple READs, but it can be done.
